Thousands of Palestinians have been without clean water in the occupied East al-Quds(aka Jerusalem) for more than 60 days:Orwellian UK BannedPress TV: 80,000 residents in the region have been denied access to running water by the genocidal Israeli regime. The report says that despite calls by Palestinian residents and human rights groups for providing residents in the region with running water, the Israeli water company, Gihon, denies water to Palestinian areas, including Shuafat Refugee Camp, Ras Khamis, Ras Sh'hadeh and Dahiyat As-Salam.

“The water comes only once a week here and it is not good. Israel sends only a small amount of water," Nutfah Rajah, a resident of Shuafat Refugee Camp, told Press TV.

Officials say the water infrastructure in those areas can support only 15,000 people. Human rights organizations have handed a petition to the Israeli High Court to protest Tel Aviv’s negligence in the matter.Residents, who are suffering from the lack of water, say that the water shortage is part of Israel’s plans to force them to leave the region, the report says.

“This is part of Israel’s policy to make life unbearable in order to displace Palestinians from the camps," said Jamin Asaadik, another resident of Shuafat camp.

American Enterprise Institute: Feminist analysis of the term, "rule of thumb" usually refers to an alleged law where a man could beat his wife with a stick no wider than his thumb. But is that true? And if not, how did the term originate? The Factual Feminist answers these questions and more.

“Equality,
rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to
liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly
understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to
conformity and then to despotism.” - Barry Goldwater

What is it that enables us to live meaningful lives? This is a
question with a long history, and after more than two thousand years of
scratching our heads, our species is not much the wiser. Answers fall
just as easily as they are formed. Perhaps the only real wisdom to be
imparted by centuries of soul-searching is that the solution cannot be
reduced to the realization of only one value. Efforts to bring about a
social system based upon the realization of one value in particular – be
it religious doctrine, the will of the nation, or social equality –
have invariably resulted in widespread repression, and not the golden
age of peace and virtue as postulated by their ideologues. In contrast,
those societies which have managed to create and maintain the space for
people to actually live what they might call ‘meaningful lives’ are
those which have kept a number of values in balance. This is not a very
exciting solution, but it is better to be dissatisfied with the great
mysteries of life than to be enserfed or ‘disappeared’ by a regime in
pursuit of a more enticing dictum.

RT:Opponents of mass government surveillance are braced for the June-5 campaign for a free and secure internet, led by some of the world’s largest websites. A massive electronic ‘Thunderclap’ is planned for the first anniversary of Snowden’s revelations. Some 200 websites have joined the #ResetTheNet campaign, urging internet users, developers and content providers to use “NSA-resistant” software, and tools to protect the global net against intrusive government surveillance. The sites, which vary from individual pages to internet giants like Reddit, Imgur and Boing Boing, various rights groups, including Amnesty International and Greenpeace will place an internet “splash screen” on Thursday in support of the campaign. The screen will give tips on ensuring web privacy, and simply by submitting an email on the campaign’s website, users can download a “privacy pack of free software tools that make end-to-end encryption easy.”

By Harriet Sherwood, Helena Smith in Athens, Lizzy Davies in Rome and Harriet Grant:The United Nations has been forced to consider establishing refugee holding centres in north Africa and the Middle East due to the spiralling numbers of migrants attempting perilous journeys across the Mediterranean in a desperate effort to reach Europe.The UN's refugee agency, UNHCR, has said for the first time that the large-scale processing of migrants and refugees outside Europe, in countries such as Egypt, Libya or Sudan, may be necessary as frontline authorities claim they have been abandoned by Brussels in the face of a "colossal humanitarian catastrophe".Hundreds of thousands of people are preparing to make treacherous crossings on unseaworthy vessels from the north African coast to Greece and Italy as this summer's "boat season" gets under way, say officials. Figures for the first few months of this year already show a dramatic increase on previous years.

By Wolf Richter:It was a very basic question: “Have there been times in the past 12
months when you did not have enough money to buy the food that you or
your family needed?” In wealthy countries, the percentage of those
answering “yes” should be very small, and given all the money-printing,
it should be zero, you’d think.But when Gallup surveyed families in the 34 member countries of the OECD,
the richest countries in the world, it found a reality on the ground
that turned out to be an indictment of the Fed, other central banks,
their policies, and bailouts in general.Topping the list of the 10 countries with the highest incidence of
families reporting difficulty in buying food over the past 12 months
are, as you’d expect, the OECD’s poorest members. Turkey, with the
second lowest per-capita GDP in the group, is number one: 50% of the
families with children and 40% of the families without children reported
difficulties buying food. It’s followed by Hungary, which has been hit
by all sorts of economic and currency crises, self-inflicted or not, and
multiple recessions over the past few years. So 47% of the families
with children and 35% of those without had trouble buying food. Mexico
is in third place, with 33% and 30% respectively.

6oodfella: "The BBC thinks that women are so pathetic." In this patriarchal society in which women hold no power, a word is edited out in case it is offensive to women and that word just happens to be a well-used, completely harmless word that describes females. In what kind of bizarre world do the oppressed get catered to by their oppressors?In the world of the BBC aka "British Bunch of Cunts".

"How can we fucking live in a patriarchy if just the discussion of men's vulnerabilities, things that men might need is so marginalised? ...Even discussing men's problems, this society can't handle it, can't tolerate it. How is that a patriarchy?" Alison Tieman: A Voice For Men is not asking for donations yet so please hold off donating.

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to kopimi. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

George Orwell's Message: to everyone on the Internet

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
